EDIT: Sorry I guess it should say "decrease" the power steering boost, not increase

Saw over in the LS400 forum, they found a way to reduce the power steering boost on their cars. Was just wondering if anyone had done anything similar on the ES350?

One thing I couldn't put my finger on at first was why the ES350 felt strange while driving and I think it is because the steering is much too light. There is too much power steering assist given - I'd prefer to make the steering weight heavier. I was interested to see if anyone had done something similar.

After having gone back and driven my old car (2003 Acura TL-S), I realized the steering is much heavier, which imho is better.

Interesting article detailing the change: http://www.autospeed.com/cms/article.html?&A=2473

Based on the above article, the LS400 uses a solenoid that is controlled by a Power Steering ECU. I don't know if we have anything close to that or not.

Cut the belt , that should do the trick.

lol, cutting the belt sounds a little bit too extreme. I still want power steering, just with less boost.

Basically what the links I posted above for the LS400, but would like to find out if something similar is possible in the ES350.
